Florida Cosntruction Connection

What do you get if you take the skills of an architect and cross them with the marketing savvy of an advertising executive? Buildings that not only advertise a product, but actually look like the product.
These historic wacky structures referred to as mimetic (prog-rammatic) architecture peaked in the 1930s, made popular by enterprising entrepreneurs who set out to lure automobile drivers away from main street.

		The Big Duck Long Island, N.Y. Business: Farm stand (former) No, it's not a bizarre floating decoy. This 20' x 30' duck is the wacky roadside architecture of Martin Maurer, an enterprising 1930s farmer who wanted to attract motorists to sell his eggs. Today the Big Duck continues to draw tourists, aptly serving the region as a Long Island visitor center.
		Wigwam Motel Holbrook, Ariz. Business: Motel Those who want to experience tribal living, at least for a night, can reserve their own comfy teepee at the Wigwam motel, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The roadside architecture complex was created in the 1930s by Chester Lewis who bought his plans from Frank Redford, a fellow Wigwam village owner from Kentucky.
		The Donut Hole La Puente, Calif. Business: Fast-food drive-through Built in 1968, the Donut Hole is the last of a five-chain franchise that was designed on roadside architecture concepts. Twenty-first century motorists can still drive through the 26-foot donut tunnel selecting donuts laid out behind glass windows. City Search gives this roadside building an 8.4 rating for its restaurant.
		The Longaberger Company Newark, Ohio Business: Handcrafted goods How would you like to work inside a basket? The Longaberger Company, a maker of handcrafted baskets, pottery and ceramics, is headquartered inside this giant-size basket, formerly the Dresden Basket factory. The Big Basket is not only a roadside building attraction but also makes aviators' fly-by lists.
		Orange World Kissimmee, Fla. Business: Liquor Store Here's a piece of roadside architecture that screams, 'STOP!' Orange World is located on the outskirts of Disney territory, where Orlando's most ambitious neighbors in Kissimmee vie for coveted tourist traffic. Inside the world's largest orange travelers can purchase an array of citrus as well as Mickey Mouse trinkets.
		The Haines Shoe House York County, Pa. Business: Museum So it was not an old lady who lived in a shoe ... Colonel Haines, the shoe king of Pennsylvania who once owned and operated 40 stores statewide, built the 48-foot- long guest house in 1948. Sold after his death and temporarily turned into an ice cream parlor, the house has returned to the Haines family and is operated as a museum in tribute to the late Colonel.
		Tea Pot or Oil Can? Zillah, Wash. Business: Gas station Constructed as a joke that now only history buffs truly enjoy, this goofy-looking service station was built to spoof the Teapot Dome scandals during President Harding's administration. The scandal sent Harding's Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall, to prison for leasing government oil reserves in Teapot Dome, Wyoming. The service station has been in operation ever since.
